JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – A 13-4 run to start the second half and an Amy Briggs three-pointer in the final minute helped lift the Truman State women’s basketball team to a 67-65 victory over Missouri Western Friday evening at the Lincoln University Thanksgiving Tournament.

The Bulldogs moved to 3-0 on the season, while their MIAA rivals dropped to 4-1.

Truman State trailed by one point, 34-33, after the opening 20 minutes, with Nicole Gloor’s 11 points and six boards leading the way.

The Bulldogs got to the line 16 times in the first half, making 11 of the attempts, but also turned the ball over 11 times, leading to 12 Griffon points.

Truman’s run to open the second half was countered by an 8-0 run by the Griffons to tie the game at 46-46. The score remained close through the final seconds, when a Lanicia Lawrence jumper was no good with one second left.
